I am so excited to have joined the #tptsellerchallenge! It is definitely the kick in the butt that I need to get products updated and revamp my selling practices on Teacher Pay Teachers. :)<br />
<br />
The first challenge, Makeover Madness, challenged you to grab a product and "revamp" it. So I chose my bestseller and just made it a lil' more appealing to the eye. :)<br />
<br />
You will have to give me your opinion...would this catch your eye while shopping on TpT?<br />

<br />
Hello Teacher friends!<br />
<br />
I just wanted to let you know that I have uploaded a super cute and useful product over at my TpT Store!!<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Math Word Problem KEY Words!!</span></h2>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am so excited to have finally found some time to make this for my students. My students come into third grade showing difficulty working through math word problems, we have discussed the "key words" in the problems that "tell you" what to do. I am hoping this helps to keep them on track.<br />
<br />
All you need to do is Print, Laminate, and Cut. I plan on giving each student a copy and then sending it to our Media Center to print poster size to hang in our Math Center. [I have also included a black and white version to save on color ink]<br />
<br />
Included in download:<br />
Black and White Version of Key [8.5 X 11 Sheet with Two Keys]<br />
Color Version of Key</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Head on over to my store and take a looksie for yourself! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. :) </div>

Hello Teacher Friends!<br />
<br />
I am sorry, with the new changes to Google Docs (now Google Drive) my snowglobe graphic organizers are stuck in cyber land somewhere. So I have uploaded them to my TpT Store for FREE.<br />
<br />

<br />
I hope (when time allows) in the future I can clean them up and add to them, but for now I do not have the time. I made them spur of the moment last year and have learned a lot since then, so they need a lil touch-up, BUT I've had such a great influx of emails requesting copies that I couldn't say no. :) I hope you enjoy them and are still able to use them (minus their shabbyness)! <br />
<br />
Check out my blog post from last year and what my class did as part of publishing their writing!! SO CUTE!!<br />

Good Evening My Fellow Bloggers!<br />
<br />
I just wanted to let you know that I have added most (working on ALL) of my freebie teacher stuffs to Teachers Pay Teachers. :) Most of it is still FREE some of it I have asked for a small fee ($1-$2) due to the extent of time it took me to make it. Please bare with me while I locate all my files and place them in the shop! I hope to be adding a lot more! I have already added some REALLY cute items that have not been shown here on the blog!!!!! COME ON OVER and take a LOOK!<br />

I had posted this idea on Pinterest a couple days ago...now I am finally getting to the part of sharing the labels with y'all. <br />
<br />
Maybe you can use them for something!<br />
<br />
I first spray painted my old Folgers coffee plastic containers and then made a pretty polka dot label for them. I use them in my Math Workshop for center storage.<br />
<br />
Here is what the labels look like: [I have them made all the way to #12]<br />
<br />

<br />
Please enjoy the lables, hopefully you can use them for something!<br />

Another Pinterest inspiration: I have saw many different little "tattle vs. telling" techniques...after posting this sign and making a special spot for tattles...things have lightened up. Whew!

My sweet darlings have a BAD habit of turning their work into their DESK! Not the turn in basket! And of course PINTEREST came to the rescue! I saw a couple different turn in ideas and then merged a few and this is what I came up with! <br />
<br />
I used some digital scrapbook materials to "jazz" it up! :) I hope you can use it! Enjoy!<br />

Here is an activity that I am using as a fun way for my students to think about resolutions:<br />

I haven't decided how I am going to do the activity in the classroom. Whether I will print the phone on construction paper or allow my students to color the outlined version. We will see. I am going to make a GREAT bulletin board with them...."Ringing in the New Year" I hope y'all can use this activity. I love it. I have decided to share the outlines with you along with a sheet for their resolutions. Enjoy!<br />

I saw many different ideas on Pinterest relating to the "If I lived in a Snowglobe" activities. I loved LOVED this idea...so I adapted it to fit my needs in my 3rd grade classroom. Here is what I came up with.<br />
<br />
I made these graphic organizers to assist my students in the writing prompt. (shared below)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
After we complete the writing process we will illustrate the writing by make a snowglobe!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used two paper plates, a ziplock bag, snow contents (hole punches and ribbon) and construction paper! <br />

We had a "Grinch Day" in our classroom! My students loved it! We all wore our jammies to school, watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the original version), ordered pizza for lunch, ate treats and snacks, receieved a special treat from the Grinch himself, and made Grinch Glyphs!!! They absolutely LOVED IT! <br />
